Supported Versions

  • Early Access

Added server-side per-quarry configuration:

  • Customize mining speed per quarry type
  • New max operations per tick limiter to reduce server load
  • All values can be tuned individually per quarry

Added biome/rock-based rare ore discovery:

  • Quarries can “find” cave ores with a default 1% chance (configurable)
  • The ore found depends on the base block/biome where the quarry is placed
    (example: Adamantite on Volcanic Rock / Basalt)

Added ore duplication mechanic:

  • When a quarry finds an ore, it mines it and duplicates the drop, giving quarries a real long-term value
  • Fully configurable (chance / rules / enable-disable)

Added automatic frame system:

  • Quarries now build a custom frame before mining
  • The frame auto-repairs if broken
  • The entire frame is fully removed when the quarry is no longer present
  • Before mining, the quarry clears the defined area with a 6-block height cleanup pass

Fixed quarry orientation / rotation:

  • Orientation is now computed dynamically on placement
  • No more incorrect mining direction depending on axis/rotation

Fixed bench slot blocking issues:

  • Items placed into input/output slots are now automatically pushed into the chest above the quarry
  • Prevents quarries from getting stuck due to wrong slot usage

Improved safety shutdown behavior:

  • When a quarry hits an issue (output full, bedrock found, unknown block, etc.), it now powers off to avoid wasting fuel
  • Default mining speed slightly increased (still fully configurable)
  • Quarries craft modified
